Brown marbled cover with green-fabric spine. Inscribed on inside front cover: "Granville J Eliot to Auntie Bantie, 7 April 1917". Contains photos of the Guest family, c. 1860s. These photos were previously in a much older scrapbook or photo album belonging to Montague John Guest. They have been ripped from the old book and inserted in the slots of this album without removing them from the original paper on which they had been glued. Montie was, apparently, the one who identified the photos.

Photo Album embellished by Constance Rhiannon (Guest) Eliot. Photos taken 1863-1870. Contains numerous photos from an August 1870 photo shoot with Oscar Gustave Rejlander (London): C015, C032, C033, and C035-C043. This album was apparently skeletonized while putting together later scrapbooks, and it appears that surplus photos were added back in to this album and often don't match the names written beneath.

Inscribed: "Nelly Post from 'Mummy' 1896". There is a wide assortment of photos taken (before her marriage to Montague Eliot) between 1894 and 1910. Photos #22-47 (plus a few others scattered around the album) relate to Nelly's stepfather, Arthur Hugh Smith-Barry (Lord Barrymore), and his early days with the Royal Yacht Squadron (all taken "on the launch, Summer 1900"). Most of the photographs in this album, as in the Box Q album, were probably taken by Miss Nelly Post herself.

Album belonging to John Granville Cornwallis Eliot, 6th Earl of St. Germans (known as "Mousie"). This is his second album and is actually a game book. Pages on the left are most often hunting notes, and the photos are glued to the pages on the right. Mousie died in March 1922, so the last portion of the album was finished by his widow, Lady Blanche. Photos date from 1916 and continue into the 1920s. Captions and illustrations by Mousie and Blanche. Photos courtesy of David Herbert, 19th Baron Herbert (Mousie's grandson).
